Nice place, nice location
Pros:

Nice location overlooking Buncrana beach and Lough Swilly, with free on-site parking. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Room was palin but of a good size and clean, bathroom likewise. Our room was upstairs, with no lift, so if you have mobility issues be sure to let them know at booking time. Bar/restaurant serves a variety of drinks/meals but it may be advisable to book a table, depending on the day of the week. There's a very nice breakfast provided. All in all, a very nice place to stay.

Cons:

Would prefer a walk in shower to a bath but that's just an age thing.

Definitely a relaxing couple of days.
Pros:

The location was excellent & Lovely & close to the beach. All rooms were well situated & no too close to the bar & restaurant. The wardrobe was enormous!! And the bedrooms were beautiful & a great size.

Cons:

Only problem I found was the curtains, would’ve preferred to have blackout curtains in bedrooms. But that is just personal preference.
